The dog days of summer
have attacked us early
with humidity of 90 percent.
It’s not advisable to go outside
or to move at all.
At least obstinacy and aggression
stay somewhat at bay
removed from one’s mind
even for a choleric.
Long live dolce far niente
understood by the busiest
of human bees.
There are endless debates
about dress codes
and burqas don’t show
who is who.
In antiquity a woman was
praised for her Ionic tunic
nobody took offence to see
the wearer’s figure enhanced
a beautiful breast called
only for admiration.
But politics did not rely then
on marketing
but deeds.
After all the ruling attitude
in general was of sane people
whereby religion was purely
a private matter.
Note Mr President.
Take note Your Holiness.
To you all: Beware of the man
with one book.
Salute.etulaS
